Abstract:

Human matrix metalloproteinase-26(MMP-26/endometase/matrilysin-2) is a newly identified MMP and its structure has not been reported. With the crystal structure of MMP-12 as structural template, the 3D structure of MMP-26 was built by homology modeling, and S1' binding pocket characteristics was studied. Residue His233 inserted S1' binding pocket and limited the depth of the pocket, consistent with the interme-diate size prediction. So MMP-26 belongs to intermediate-pocket MMPs. On the basis of the modeling, the interactions of inhibition GM6001 with MMP-26 were investigated. Carbonyl oxygen and hydroxyl oxygen of hydroxamic acid structure were in bidentate coordinated mode with catalytic zinc ion, which was consistent with the characteristics of hydroxamic acids MMPs inhibitors. This work suggests that molecular modeling is a useful tool to understand structure-activity relationships and provides new insight for rational inhibitor design that may distinguish MMPs with deep versus intermediate S1' pockets.
